12 WILMETTE LIFE December 27, 1929 Wilmette.Playground and Recreation Activities community carol · Service Attracts Many Villagers Assisted by a chorus of children frotn the Wilmette public schools, more than 600 villagers gathered around the municipal Christmas tree on the Village hall lawn on Christmas Eve to join in the annual carol service. This is the ninth consecutive year the service has been held and tllf~ fourth under the direction of the Wilmette Playground and Recreation board. For more than an hour the grou~ stood around the tree, which was lighted especially for the occasion by the Public Service company, and joined in the song service. R. D. Burtner led the carolers who sang to the accompaniment of the public school band trained by Joseph C. Schumacher and directed by Robert Klemm. Village President Earl E. Orner, opened the service with a short address of welcome. The children's chorus was trained by Mrs. Stella Maher, supervisor of music in the Wilmette public schools, and was chosen from the children in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The carols used in the service were taught to all the children in the public school system.

NEW COMMUNITY BUILDING Members of the Girls' Athletic club of the Playground and Recreation board are feverishly intersp,e rsing an the social events connected with Christmas vacation and feteing the crowd of students returning home for the holidays with a big drive to sell tickets for the informal dance they will give Jan uary 7 at the Howard school. The dance will be given to "help defray the deficit encountered in the married couples' dancing class which holds weekly meetings on Friday evenings at the Stolp school. Members of . the executive, social, and charity committees who are collaborating in making plans for the dance are working all the more frantically since there will not be another club meeting before the date of the dance. Final plans are to be made at a ~p ecial meeting of the members of the three committees Monday evening at the home of Miss Joe Skidmore, assistant in charge of women's activities, 946 Spanish Court. Special emphasis is being made on the fact that tickets will be on sale at the door in addition to the pre-ticket sale.
